~ Leaving Melbourne for somewhere else.

What’s wrong with this picture?

And I’m not talking about exposure, focus and tints. Come on, Pops was surely whacked when he snapped this.

The title really should be ‘what’s right with this picture’.

I see fun, frolics, life, water, youthful innocence etc.

This picture was taken a world away from our current shitty state of affairs.

Imagine what the hippy(pops) looked like who took the picture, in contrast to the locals.

I see religious carvings and statues, I see smiles.

Man, check out the pants on the dude there!

He is one well dressed funky little dude.

Rockstar in the making.

Is the dragon whispering the secret to eternal life in his ear?

The middle guy mining for boogers.

The lost look on the face of the wee fellah.

Now here’s something I accidentally stumbled upon. I always wondered what the front door of The World’s Highest Hippy Nightclub , The Rose Mushroom, looked like. I could be wrong though. If you zoom in on the sheet of paper…like so..
